(Calvin Klein Eye Shadow in 06 Ivory)
But, during my trip to Nottingham in June, I was roaming around in a shopping mall and I came across some Calvin Klein makeup products in a cosmetics store! The store had a slightly similar feel to The Company Store in London, which is the Estée Lauder Group outlet store.
I checked the quality of some of the stock, and I was relatively happy. As most of the colors were too dark for my liking, I picked up this matte ivory shade, which is good as a base for other eyeshadows. It can also work as a subtle brow-bone or face highlighter.
This is the only Calvin Klein Cosmetics item I have, and it is a very welcome addition to my white eyeshadow collection!

Hello A-Mused,
Gosh…that’s quick…I just posted this several minutes ago…:)
This is a good find indeed. I am very pleased with it. I would have liked to pick up a couple more products, but quality-wise, pressed-powder products seem to be able to endure the test of time better…since the line has been discontinued for a while…
Thanks for commenting again! :)
darlinnnnnnnnng i check your blog every 2 seconds for updates ;)
I can’t help myself I’m addicted!
I never seen CK cosmetics. Will have to Jonny to wander over and see what they have for me in the shop you got these at!
Interesting packaging! Love it!
Indeed powder does keep well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re most welcome ;)
Love you!
I love CK ….and wanted to say hello.
Hello, Pj,
Nice color that you bought! Let us know how you like it!
When Calvin Klein was first upto the market around seven or eight years ago (anyway,thousand years ago), I was totally amazed by the quality and neutral style of their eyeshadows. I bought the eye shadow in 03 Taupe. This is almost my favorite one. Becasue it looks so effortless-natural and elegant. Sadly, it is also the only CK coemetics I have. Since CK discontined the cosmetics line, I treasure 03 Taupe with tiny little amount I use everytime. I am just afraid of the day I will run out it.
I really miss CK cosmetics!
hello!
Hello Sara,
Thank you for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon!!
Hello Beauty Anonymous!
Good to hear from you again, and thank you for sharing your Calvin Klein Cosmetics story!
I imagine 03 Taupe must be a great color. (Too bad…I don’t think I saw this in the shop…)
I was also impressed by the whole collection when it was around. I loved the clean and minimal decor of the counter space and the counter staff were friendly and professional.
I have tried the eyeshadow for a couple of times and I like it. It is soft and smooth. For a white eyeshadow, it doesn’t look dry or chalky at all. I am very happy with it!
Thank you for your comment! :)

Hello Joyce,
The writer of this post informed me on the new launch of Calvin Klein Beauty a while ago.
But I have to say I am not too crazy about the packaging. Hope the quality is just as good though. :)

Wow! is this very expensive? I love it!
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for visiting my blog!
I bought this one for 7 pounds, which was about 14 USD. It was a discount price, and I am not too sure what the original retail price was. But I am happy with the price and the quality! :)
